He should probably finish the year in junior after that. He isn't NHL ready and I don't think it hurts a player in his 19-20 year old season to dominate another year in junior. Most prospects in that group do go back to junior. It sure beats the alternative of rushing a player and having them off the ice because of injury. Gotta be patient with these prospects.
FWIW, game 40 for the Flames in on December 31st.
